Danny, My main NT4 PC is in production, so I can't alter that. I fired up a backup PC which has NT4 SP5 and the Meinberg installed version would only get as far as trying to start the service. Therefore I went back to my older version. - using the Terje Mathisen V4.2.0 release, with the ntpd.conf file generated by the failed Meinberg installation, NTP would see all the configured remote servers - using either the [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] from Meinberg, the setup failed at the point where it tried to install the service, however... - I could use the instsrv.exe from Terje's release to install the Meinberg version, but both versions failed to see the external servers. The local clock (at stratum 12) could be seen OK. This is using the command: ntpq -p - I think both Meinberg versions contain the same .exe files - the 1370 .exe files appear to be dated. - I've just realised that there is a more recent Meinberg version - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - and installing that just in "upgrade the files" mode results in files dated June 2005 and, more importantly, the remote servers can now be seen. I hope this helps. Cheers, David _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
